Audition certificates are a salient feature of Arabic manuscript cultures. They are brimming with data and can include: the name of the teacher(s), the name of the student(s) (including highlighting those coming late or leaving early), the name of the reader, the name of the writer of the certificate, the name of the book’s owner, the date of the reading, the place of the reading and many other surprises (such as a writer recording the birth of his son during the reading session in the room next door). These certificates contain a wealth of historical data, in particular on persons we do not find in many other sources such as women and dependants. They are thus a source of outstanding importance for fields such as social history, history of ideas, economic history, urban history, historical topography, and biographical studies. It goes without saying that, especially in a comparative perspective with other world regions, such as Latin Europe, this copious material represents a considerable resource for widening the understanding of Islamicate societies. So far, this unparalleled source has only been used on the basis of individual manuscripts or small corpora. ACP is the first major project aimed at unlocking the potential of this unique source corpus. It is based on the holdings of selected libraries (Staatsbibliothek Berlin, Forschungsbibliothek Gotha, The Bibliothèque nationale de France, Syrian National Library) and will be continiously enlarged.

This paper presents a novel exploration of applied semiotics in the design of digital technologies aimed at the elderly, particularly through the development of a social media platform tailored to their needs. Building on Umberto Ecoís semiotic framework and addressing the progressive aging of the population alongside the ubiquity of digital technology, we propose a shift in how digital platforms are designed for senior users. The research identies a gap in current digital solutions, which often overlook the elderly, resulting in a digital divide exacerbated by the recent COVID-19 pandemic. By rethinking digital platforms with a focus on the digital representation of faces, we aim to foster intergenerational connections that transcend mere syntactic links, emphasizing semantic relationships built on shared narratives and memories. This endeavor is grounded in a critical literature review that intersects elderly individuals, digital technology, and face representation, highlighting current limitations while offering recommendations for future directions. A semiotic perspective on technology design for the elderly is proposed, promising a more inclusive digital landscape that acknowledges the elderly not just as users but as active participants in a socially connected community. The proposed platform focuses on preserving and sharing elderly memories with extended families, leveraging the centrality of the face in digital communication to promote genuine intergenerational engagement. The signicance of this work lies in its methodological and cultural objective to redene ìappliedî in semiotics, advocating for a design that impacts real-life through digital innovation in harmony with technical and engineering knowledge. By prioritizing narrative and emotional connections, the project endeavors to restore semantic depth to digital face representations, challenging the prevailing commercial nature of social platforms and envisioning a digital space that values authentic human connections over quantitative interactions.
